Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken

It’s that time of year where school has started, sports have begun, and each weeknight gets so busy that dinner falls to the back burner of your mind. That is until it’s dinner time and everyone is hungry! I make this Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken on busy weeknights. It’s so simply to throw it all in the crockpot and leave for the day. You can even put it all in the crockpot sleeve the night before and keep in the fridge until morning. Once morning rolls around, you can stick it in the slow cooker and head out for your day. More often than not, I end up throwing frozen chicken in this and it works out just fine. You can serve it up all by itself, with rice, or even a side of green chile cornbread.

This recipe also freezes very well. So if you plan on doing freezer meals, be sure to add this one to the list!

Put all ingredients except cheddar cheese in the crockpot. Cook on low for 8 hours. When complete, sprinkle cheese over top and place lid back on just long enough for cheese to melt. Serve up and enjoy!

If you plan to do this as a freezer meal, place all ingredients in a ziploc freezer bag omitting cheese. On day of, place in crock pot and cook as above.
